For the Autumn/Winter 2010-2011, GQ Style UK published an editorial that included male models in amazing jackets and outfits that seem to have been gone through rubble and dirt for that extra [worn in look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). The editorial entitled 'Outlaws' features clothing from top labels such as [Burberry Prorsum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city), Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano just to name a few.

This story was photographed by Guzman and styled by Jo Levin, with the help of the [rugged outdoors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) to supplement the dusty look. The modernly western-type shoot in GQ Style UK 2010-2011 is all about urbanity and becoming a fashionable outcast in the big bad city.
